Pink PowerBall Mouse

Posted in: Amusing, Business, Musing |

I have been meaning to introduce this to all bloggers. And yes.. i do have it physically at our store a few weeks now. Why i think it is very suitable for bloggers..?? you know lah.. we click so much.. to catch an opp, this combination of mouse and trackball that you hold in your hand and no need to stretch you hands to where your mousepad is, then can prevent sore shoulder blades and arms.

It sure took a little getting use to, just like a trackball, but it works really well. You’ve gotta hold it like a gun and for better stability you use your middle finger and your index finger resting on the top.

PB say this is a good alternative for people who has carpal tunnel.. but i think it’s best for bloggers who are doing sponsored post.. muahahhahaha!! At $29.99 .. small price to pay.. i have to say.. and we’ll ship it to you .. anywheres you are..! how’s that.. for being friends now.

Maybe a certain Ms Pink and Mrs Pink wants to order .. kekekekeke!!

 

They Bluff One

Posted in: Bitching, Random Ranting, This Wonderful County |

Workers at GM Canada are bracing themselves for a big job cuts. This was what i read this morning on the local news.

And the CEO of a call center in NB blames the economy for the closure of 2 offices in the province. Workers in Fredericton and Bathurst were affected when they turned up for work to only find the doors locked with no notice.

The reports and news have been saying that the economy has been well in Canada.. if so.. why all the above..?? And you know what’s the job of the town..??? The “garmen” is gonna spend $4 million here to built a new Municipality of Yarmouth. Just another fancy place for the town councils and the people who runs the town to sit their butt in an air-con room. Wonder where all the money is coming from..?? and wonder why the money isn’t put to good use instead of having a new building. Already the justice center was another huge expense to this town.. and tourism ain’t good .. in fact very bad.. but all these money.. being put out…?? FOR..?? Your guess is as good as mine..!

And every month.. i go thinking.. ohhh…! i’m all done.. this month.. and then Poof..! it comes right back. Well .. not the heavy flow like the 2nd or 3 day.. but still menses is menses.. and you and i know.. with horrid menses.. you can’t do any naughty things.. muahahahahah!!

Oiiiiiii..!!! i meant swimming lah..!! wach you thinking.. lah..!!! muahahahahah!!! Does your menses trick you too..??

This online mooncake company is in the United States.. and they will ship to Canada. But a box of plain lotus seed mooncake will set me back about $80 USD, that means.. it would be about RM$240.00 for eating mooncake. Now you tell me.. to eat or not to eat.. muahahhahha!! A very expensive price to marry “ang moh” in Ulu Town, I’ll say.

I Have A Theory

Posted in: Bitching, Health |

I’ve b*tched about my fibroids acting up more than usual this month.. a few days back.. and haven’t been feeling the best.. to do alot of stuff at home.. or at the store. So here.. I have a theory.. and i think i better write it down.. just in case I forget it again..and again.

I think the only reason why .. my fibroids hurt this much.. is because during my “Aunt Flow’s” visit .. there are clogs of blood waiting to come out..! The reason why i say this.. is because today.. the clogs started to happen.. and my fibroids donch feel so bad no more. I have to make sure i mention this to my gynae the next time he comes into our store..to rent a game for his kid.. and see what he has to say. Keep you all posted.. soon.

 

Holiday Cheer Throughout The Year

Posted in: Useful Links |

September is round the corner, this year the time had really flown by. Too fast some may say.. and I agree totally. Time to plan for Christmas gifts and two birthdays for the 2 very important people in my life. My precious brat and my spouse, both having their birthdays in December.. so close to Christmas and the holiday season.

Of course we have families, friends and employees to shop for this Christmas and what about my brat’s babysitter .. Keegan. We have to get her something to.. for being so great with the brat. Lucky for me, I have online coupons to help me stretch my dollars .. and of course to get decent gifts for all of these wonderful people who had made life so much more bearable for me here in Canada.

For my little brat of course some clothings and accessories from Gap and for the man .. some electronic or console machines from Best Buys. There are thousands coupons and coupon codes for hundreds of other great stores. There is always something there for me… and I just love all the savings i am getting from coupon chief. It makes spending money less sinful.

Marketing with Voice Messaging

Posted in: Useful Links |

Marketing technique through voice messaging targeted to your specific clients is one of the best thing ever invented. It is so easy and affordable, even small companies like ours can use this service. With today’s technology, you personal messages can be quickly sent to anywheres in the US and Canada.

Vontoo voice messaging takes pride in any call campaign that you placed with them, and ensuring only success in your campaign. With your message campaign you can opt to have the call transferred to a designated phone number for further follow up. I’ll have to say it’s pretty easy to set up the call, just by using a phone, you can then provide a prompt to accept the call or be called back later, specially use different messages for an answering machine or voice mail. You can create the message any which way you want, be it the intro or exit message.

The most important feature would be knowing how many people were actually reached, how long the recipient listened to your campaign and of course determine the ideal call times and also discover who made the call to action transfers, for follow up. All these we know it’s important to the client. Plus you can schedule calls and pre-record your messages far in advance before the campaign, thus leaving you free to concentrate on other matters.

There are of course many success stories with using this new trend for your marketing campaign and one such story is the Memphis Grizzles, who wanted to sell tickets for an upcoming game. The game sold 1500 tickets, resulting in $33,000 in sales with just one call and the cost to Memphis Grizzles..?? only a mere $650.00, not even 10% of the ticketing price and no big banners, radio announcement or newspaper advertising, simply no hassle at all… and stress less.

Making your marketing successful need not be expensive nor stressful, in fact it can even thrill your clients/customers receiving a personal call from their favorite person or in the case of the Memphis Grizzles, the ardent and die hard fans.

Hot Air Balloon Crash

Posted in: Around The World |

I haven’t really heard alot about hot-air balloon crash coz’ i guess there ain’t much. So during the weekend.. when i saw on the news about a fatal crash .. so near to us.. in Canada.. i was quite shocked.

Two died i heard.. and 10 injured. You can imagine.. how scary it was .. even though only 6 meter up. The company is currently suspended… but i can imagine.. not many ppl are gonna be very confident anytime soon. Imagine.. the horror .. of being on the ground.. and seeing your loved ones.. there on fire..??!!?? I hope i never live to see that day.. when it happens to me.. or my loved ones. So helpless.. i would imagine.

When Buying A House

Posted in: Bitching, Random Ranting |

I’ve never thought that it was so important.. when you buy your own home.. to make sure.. that there is at least 2 bathroom in the house. I so regret now.. because not only should your bathroom be away from your children’s room… but there should always be 2.

Our home only have one.. and you can imagine how inconvenient it is.. if you are bathing.. and another need to use the bathroom.  So if you are buying your own home anytime soon.. please remember and do not say.. it doesn’t matter.. because it does.  Have at least 1.5 bathroom.  Now if we wanted to put in another washroom in the basement.. it will cost us an arm and a leg..!!  Bummer..!! i wonder how i could have missed it.. coz’  i already owned 2 homes back home in Singapore.

Business Loans & Financial Aid

Posted in: Useful Links |

I’ve always said starting a business is very easy.. a registration fee with the town and a company’s name is all registered. But to keep the business going.. and not to be in debt.. now that’s another story totally.

Being a owner by association to my spouse’s business in this small town made me learned alot of things, not only in personal relationship with your customer/s and employees.. you learn alot of financing .. and rolling your money… for the business. It is definitely not easy.. if you do not have a big conglomerate to back you up.. like chain store, Staples just to name one.

The funny thing is this, during my first year in Canada.. we needed to get a new car .. because we were travelling alot to the city - Halifax. But do you know what..?? because we were only in business for the first year.. and was unable to show profit .. the year before, we couldn’t even get an auto loans! Ironic as it is . .it is so true. Nope .. we didn’t have a bad credit.. but we own our own business. .and it wasn’t making “enough” money the first year. Fortunately, for us.. we did managed to get our new car.. and fortunately for us.. there are companies out there who helped us understand our financial situation better and not just rejecting us with no reason whatsoever.
